Abstract

Over the years, it has been observed that many graduate engineers are unable to present themselves for the Professional Interview (PI) conducted by the IEM because they possess insufficient design experience, which is a prerequisite. This intensive design course will therefore prepare potential candidates for the said PI.

Course Overview

This course is to provide the candidate the knowledge to design electrical distribution system for domestic, commercial and industrial installations to ensure safety and proper functioning, and comply with the requirements of international design standards.

Course Objectives

The objectives of this course are listed below.
1. Design the electrical services and distribution system for domestic, industrial and
    commercial buildings complying with the design standards.
2. Apply international standards for the design and selection of electrical equipment
    for the intended use.
3. Understand the safety and functional requirements for electrical installations.
4. Identify the role of the design in the buildings and industrial processes.

Course Format

The course consists of formal content presentation. The presenter’s style involves intensive participant participation
